Abstract
Este comentario se centra en la noción de ‘comunidad epistémica’ y en su rol para sus-tentar el argumento general que Karen Frost-Arnold presenta en Who Should You Be Online?(OUP, 2023). En la primera sección se presenta el argumento general de WSYBO, esbozando la estructura general del libro y sus conceptos centrales. En la segunda sección se distinguen tres sentidos posibles de ‘comunidad epistémica’ – sistémico, agregado y grupal. En la tercera sección se exploran las tensiones en torno al sentido grupal de comunidad epistémica. Se atenderá a dos formas en las que ciertas comunidades epistémicas cerradas y organizadas en torno a una identidad compartida pueden desviarse de los ideales epistémicos que guían el proyecto de Frost-Arnold. Algunas comunidades cerradas pueden organizarse en torno a dinámicas excluyentes. Otras comunidades pueden organizarse en torno a debates o controversias, afectando a la calidad deliberativa de esos debates. El potencial epistémico de las comunidades epistémicas cerradas y organizadas en torno a una identidad compartida depende en gran medida de evitar estas dos desviaciones.
This commentary focuses on the notion of ‘epistemic community’ and its role in underpinning the general argument that Karen Frost-Arnold presents in Who Should You Be Online? (OUP, 2023). The first section presents the general argument of WSYBO, outlining the general structure of the book and its central concepts. In the second section, three possible senses of ‘epistemic community’ are distinguished – systemic, aggregate and group-oriented. The third section explores tensions around a variety of group-oriented epistemic community. It will address two ways in which certain closed epis-temic communities organized around a shared identity can deviate from the epistemic ideals that guide Frost-Arnold’s project. Some enclosed epistemic communities can be organized around exclusionary dynamics. Other enclosed epistemic communities may organize and grant member-ship around debates or controversies, affecting the deliberative quality of those debates. The epistemic potential of closed epistemic communities organized around a shared identity depends largely on avoiding these two deviations.
